Bois-de-Bay WWTP
The Bois-de-Bay plant continuously treats wastewater in a way that best conserves the quality of the Rhône's water, where the treated water is discharged.
History
The Bois-de-Bay WWTP was commissioned in April 2009. It is one of the largest water treatment plants in Switzerland and treats water from parts of Pays-de-Gex, Meyrin, Satigny and Aïre-la-Ville, doing so by eliminating polluted water discharges into the Allondon, a river of remarkable beauty with a variety of fauna.
